Police claim that they have e-mail correspondence between American businessman Neville Roy Singham and Prabir Purakayastha. Among this are conversations to how to prepare Bharat’s maps that show ‘Kashmir and Arunachal Pradesh as disputed areas’. The northern border of the maps of Bharat were shown without Kashmir and Arunachal Pradesh as its part. Their attempt shows their intention to weaken the unity and integrity of the nation.
